A Second Chance? Does Everyone Deserve One?

When it comes to sports, President Obama’s first love is the teams of Chicago. But the president spread some love Philadelphia’s way recently when he thanked Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie for giving Michael Vick a second chance following the star quarterback’s release from jail last year on an animal cruelty conviction.

The president said that so many people who serve time never get a fair second chance and he was happy that the Eagles did something on such a national stage that showed our faith in giving someone a second chance after such a major downfall.

I own a beautiful, loving, pit-bull and each and every time
i pet him or hold him I can’t imagine what was done to those poor
innocent dogs. Forgive never, forget never. Some one needs to
always remeber

I do not believe that Michael Vick deserves a second chance. He abused animals and should be in jail – defenseless animals that are trusting of their owners and have a bad reputation because of people like Michael Vick. I have owned Pitbulls for years and cannot tolerate anyone talking about how dangerous they are – he made them aggressive – someone should keep him in a cage and abuse him and see how he feels!!!
